New Republic Writer Calls For Anti-Bush Left-Wingers To Be Killed

---The words "libelous" and 'the New Republic" have a proud history of walking arm-in-arm.Now, in the esteemed tradition of [former TNR writer who peddled fiction as fact] Stephen Glass, The New Republic has stooped to a new low, publishing a piece that calls for violence, torture, and even death for leading leftists who dare oppose Bush's war on terror and the slaughter in Iraq."from a link at tvnewsliesI have read other bizarre right wing and bizarre right wing xian postings. They are..bizarre. What I find upsetting, frightening, about this article, is the connection to the reality of what I experienced and saw, when I protested in DC on J20. No-one, not the scads of police, nor the bush-supporters who may have had a slight lean to "normality" intervened to assist. notsorrynoteverybody is a site that takes a glimpse into the mindset of the new republic type freepers.
